LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A final public meeting is scheduled for Thursday about a highly traveled stretch of Bardstown Road.
It's the stretch from the Bullitt County line to Beulah Church Road in Jefferson County. Traffic can get bad on the roadway during rush hour. The stretch includes the Gene Snyder interchange, which is another headache for many drivers.
Safety is also an issue KYTC is considering. From 2018 to 2023, there were more than 1,000 crashes on that stretch of road.
Input from the first public meeting was held on June 25 and was compiled to develop a range of possible highway improvement concepts. Those possible changes will be available for discussion at the meeting.
The final meeting is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday in the cafeteria at Bates Elementary School.
The hope is to use the information to consider what the transportation needs are for Bardstown Road, what improvements would cost and how it would benefit the area.
